Chris & Vanessa are Engaged!

Chris and Vanessa are good friends of ours, and they are getting married in October. When they asked me to take a few engagement photos of them, I was glad to! So, we headed off to the UW Arboretum this past Saturday and braved the cold. These two were such troopers, they have their jacket off in all of these! Woo weee!

Chris is also a photographer, and has joined me at a few of my 2009 weddings, so you might recognize him!

Bri's shot

I think this one is my favorite....

We actually had some sun to work with! Yay!

Vanessa, you are beautiful! :)

We found a tree with some green on it! Woo hoo!

Thanks guys for braving the cold temps! Brian and I had a lot of fun :)

And here are a few "behind the scenes" pics... notice I am nowhere as near as brave as these two and was fully bundled up!

We were picking on Brian here for his love of the fisheye lens, and how he takes pictures with it constantly without looking (so I took this one without looking!)

Brian making sure there was no ice where Chris was going to "dip" Vanessa
